Subject: MACARTHUR & BELTLINE PRIORITY CONCERNS
MACARTHUR & RIVERCHASE:
1. A safety officer from the construction crew working on I-35 said that he was S/B on MacArthur and saw no sign indicating where he was suppose to turn to get to Beltline Rd.
I went and checked the area. I found the one small sign hidden by trees on the outside shoulder of the roadway which is far too late to get into the turning lane. I would not have
seen it if I had not been searching for it. It needs to be moved to the center median and placed just before cars can get into the turn lane.
2. I saw 3 near collisions at that intersection because there is no turn signal or sign indicating vehicle are to turn on the green light. A lot of vehicles are not realizing
they are not going to get a green arrow until the light turns yellow almost red so they try and turn at the last minute which has nearly caused 3 t-bone accidents and several rear end
accidents from the cars that now have the green light stopping suddenly.
